New York Philharmonic. Jaap van Zweden, conductor; Rudolf Buchbinder, piano. January 5, 2023.
[…] had a lot of good things to say about it. While the 4th may be less "substantial," it was still a formidable piece of music. The same remarks I made about the Hong Kong performance hold true today also: effortless, great cooperation. Of course one has to take the "whole package" and not the individual components, but I do wonder if the performance(s) could be more agitated, and how that would come across - Nobuyuki Tsujii performing with Orpheus Chamber comes to mind.If the conclusion is that the HK Phil performance was as good as today's, that would not be wrong in my book.The Program Notes mentions some musicologists feel Beethoven might have had Orpheus in mind when he wrote this concerto.

Royal Festival Hall, LondonLast year’s winner of the International Chopin competition, Bruce Liu, was a late substitution for this all-Tchaikovsky programme, but made light and elegant work of the challenging Second Concerto Over the last two years, concert-goers have become used to artist substitutions and programme changes. The Philharmonia’s all-Tchaikovsky programme with their principal conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali had both: it had proved impossible for the pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii to travel to London for the concert and in his place came Bruce Liu, who last autumn won the most prestigious of all piano prizes, the International Chopin competition in Warsaw. It was Liu’s UK debut, and he brought with him a change of concerto too, opting for the challenge of Tchaikovsky’s Second Piano Concerto, which is far less often performed than its popular predecessor.
